It seems like my initial idea is difficult to access. By talking to Mike today, I was reminded to think about my last project homosexuality. The reason why I had to change to another topic is because I couldn't get approach to the focus group (homosexuals), so I couldn't do researches towards my focus group properly. That is an inaccessible topic, and I would avoid the same problem when I started my current project.
Actually it is not easy for me to think about other focus groups except for suicidal people, however this community of people is extremely difficult to get approach, one hand it is hard for me to find suicidal people, on the other hand, even I can find some, because of the ethical problem, I am not allowed to talk to them. In addition, I am not a professional who is familiar with the approaching ways and methods towards suicidal people, so if I talk to them perhaps it is also harm for my own wellbeing.
So Mike gave me a piece of advice, to consider other stakeholders such as A+E Department, stuffs in hospital, clinic and GPs. Also I should have a look on the second level groups such as people around suiciders and people who might be involved in the suicide issues.
He told me his own experience which about his feelings and his actions after one of his student killed himself, this story gave some a concept on how people around a suicider be influenced.
I am ready to change my approaching methods and perspectives I researched, sometime I see my first idea is a valuable and I like it very much, but most of time my first idea is not matual and not so realistic. So the better thing for me is forget my first possession and look for my second one.
